Will need read more into it tomorrow. Saw a bit about it on tv too. The email thing has been one big dopey disaster for Hillary. Scummy and stupid.

I don't get it. People don't like Bernie because reasons, then they make emails a big deal. It's almost as if they want trump in the office.

The emails, and Hillary's response are a big deal. She deserves to be, at the very least, heavily criticized for it.

OP down...
Does not look good for Hillary. Actually none of this email stuff has looked good. At all.
No it doesn't have to be a right wing conspiracy people. And we don't need any whataboutisms here about Mr. Donald.
Dumb.

I guess it comes down to, do you believe in Hillary possibly being lax on e-mails and pulling favors, or do you believe in Trump for his dangerous racism/xenophobia/bigotry/sexism/disabled mockery/hate speech/calling for assassinations/pro-Putinism/narcissism/childish name-calling/unfiltered rhetoric, etc.
It's a difficult decision, I'm sure.

This is a completely separate matter from the private email server scandal.

They seem to be full on hillary mode now
As someone looking at american politics from the outside I really don't get why Hillary Clinton is criticized so much, people call her corrupt, a liar, untrustworthy and I don't get why? How is she corrupt, who has she taken money from? And maybe I'm missing something, but isn't she one of the more honest politicians?
I agree with you on Trump though.

"discuss" lol

Of course it comes down to that--on election day.
I think it's both healthy and necessary for left-leaning people to have discussions on Hillary's shortcomings, even if they know they will be voting for her. Simply saying she's a far better option than Trump is not a responsible response to stories that deserve discussion. I mean, more or less any candidate running for president this election would have been better than Trump. His incompetence is not a valid defense of legitimate criticisms directed at Hillary.

CIA doesn't think she's culpable.

Since the OP is banned, I suppose I should post a news source.
https://www.google.com/amp/abcnews....d/story?id=41275551?client=ms-android-verizon
I'll have to wait for the State Department Report to further form an opinion. It seems her email was used for non classified emails from the state department (were supposed to be non-classified anyhow, they kind of fucked the pooch on that one), as well as an email relating to other personal matters.
I'm not sure the extent of this thst is allowed or not allowed, and I'm sure this was just forwarded to her as a mailing list. No doubt it could've been handled better, bit I'll wait and see whether this will effect the State Dept. Report.

That doesn't turn them into a legitimate news source. They didn't know what journalism looked like before and they sure as shit don't know what it looks like now.

Ok? Everyone agrees she made a mistake. What now? Legally, it is a closed case.

We can do that after Hilary gets elected. As of now, it only gives Trump supporters more fuel to make Trump look good. Which by the way Trump has said and done much worse things than this.
1. This has nothing to do with Bernie. Let it go.
2. TYT does like 5 major negative Trump stories every day. They even invented a tag for him.
3. So media should stop reporting negative stories on Hillary altogether otherwise "they want Trump in the office"?
4. If you think this story is not legitimate, bring your own argument. Don't use a senseless attack on Bernie or bring Trump into this.
5. It is indeed funny that of all the negative Trump stories on that channel, the OP picked that single one on Hillary.

Would you prefer they never report anything negative about Hillary? Talking about pay for play in politics shouldn't be off limits just becuase it might make the Democratic nominee look bad

Why not report negative things that have some substance?

Says the exact same thing as the video the OP posted. And it also points out that the FBI requested the State Department to investigate the Clinton Foundation in Jan., but was denied
I definitely agree that this all needs more discussion. I guess what I mean is that when you look at what is essentially a 50/50 shot of who will be President at this current moment, one is far and away more competent and more suited to be President than the other (and that's putting it lightly).
The best thing about the email story is that because of the sheer number of them any hack news outlet can bundle a few under reported ones, treat em like new and pretend "there might be something in there!" You can read implication into anything when all you have are bits and pieces, and random ass emails are like a gold mine for that.
We will be seeing "new" email stories for the rest of her first term.

I looked up the source emails and they like the same bog standard networking email of the kind I've seen a million times in any organization. Someone asked to speak to a State Department rep.
Foreign policy experts know each other and network.
Quite unconvinced by Cenk's speculation here. Has the TYT never used Linked In?

"pay to play" has been a knock against Hilary for some time now. New emails were released that may hint at that. It's not a smoking gun or anything, but I think it's worth discussing.
It also shows the very thing Gaffers tell each other to do in job search threads: use connections you might have to help get a job. Unless you've got proof he paid money to get a job, he's just following the same advice every gaffer gives every time it comes up on the forum. Basically it's reaching.

I'm confused as to why OP was banned. For posting a TYT video?
of course people should talk about her shortcomings. but it's hard to take TYT serious after how they treated in the primary.
Exactly my thoughts. Honestly if there was a hint of a massive conspiracy it would have been brought foward by now.
Hillary got em. Another cold body for the murder list.
Don't forget the post defending Martin Shkreli.

Shitty OPs where you just post a link and say "Discuss" are a no-no. And so are his shitposts in other threads.
Check post history.

To be fair, these are actually new.
And to be fair in the opposite direction, none of these are actually to or from Hillary. They're e-mails to and from her staff from someone from the Clinton Foundation.
